Blaustein's Pathology of the Female Genital Tract
Description:... This is the third edition of the widely acclaimed Blaustein's Pathology of the Female Genital Tract. The fully illustrated work is an authoritative, comprehensive, and up-to-date textbook and standard reference source in gynecologic and obstetric pathology. It is aimed at practicing pathologists, obstetricians and gynecologists, and residents in these specialties. The book emphasizes the correlation between clinical and pathologic features of female genital tract disease by examining the pathophysiology of individual organ systems. New adjunctive techniques such as immunohistochemistry and molecular DNA analysis are introduced when useful, for example, in the study of premalignant and malignant tumors of cervix and vulva. Blaustein's Pathology of the Female Genital Tract discusses the anatomy, histology and pathology of uterine corpus and ovary, and describes morphologic changes in relation to serum hormone and tissue receptor concentrations; endometrial hyperplasia, metaplasia, and carcinoma; and neoplasia of vulva, vagina, and cervix in connection with human papillomavirus. This book also explores such topics as tract embryology, disorders of normal sexual development, diseases of the placenta, and gestational trophoblastic disease.
